I have a 2018 Platinum with B&O sound system with a kicker sub. I guess I thought the sub worked as full capacity, but are you saying you can turn it on differently than what is stock? Does it make much of a difference?
My XLT did not come with a subwoofer. So I added the oem kicker sub. So on my truck you need to program it to turn the sub on like your truck already has.

Not true. My CDN '18 Lariat stays put whether in MPH or KPH. It seems that there's no rhyme nor reason on this. Some trucks remember, some don't.

Also disabled start up and door open chimes, added climate to the synce 3 screen. Not much but it is a start.

Two question?
Bambi mod, what is the difference between remembering and not remembering with on/off cycle?

GT performance boot up. Is this just the start up or does it also change the display to the GT?

I have a 2019 XLT (302A package) that does not show the temp on Sync 3 screen. I can see it there but it is not active. Can I make the temp dial adjust temp in degrees displaying on the Sync? Thanx

No.

Multiple trips to the dealer with my '11, '15, and now my '18 F-150s all enhanced with FORSCAN adjustments have not resulted in any disturbance in the force.

Their diagnostic system (IDS?) likely doesn't 'see' the changes that have been made for the most part anyway.

Remain calm and mod-on.

As far as the Bambi mode, if you select remembered it reverts back to what ever it was when you turned the truck off. If you left the hi beams and or the fogs on that's what it is when you start it back up. It's convenient if you always drive with the fogs on, so you don't have to turn them on each time.

I bought my 2016 used and did not get the factory code for the key pad on the drivers door. Can I look this up with FORScan and if so how?

Is there a way to remember driving modes? They reset everytime I turn the truck off.

i don't recall the exact procedure, but it is written in the owners manual..... you can retrieve the code by placing a key in the "cut out" in the console if you have push to start, or by using both keys in a specific cycle if you have regular keys.
